Capwap mode

In CAPWAP IP pass-through mode, FortiExtender (Managed) is managed by FortiGate, and traffic is forwarded via the CAPWAP tunnel between FortiGate and FortiExtender. Refer to the FortiGate documentation on how to manage FortiExtender on FortiGate. Once FortiExtender is managed by FortiGate, the following configurations will be synced from FortiGate and generated automatically.

Configurations On FortiExtender

You can manually configure the attached physical interface of CAPWAP Interface field. Otherwise, the system will default it to 'lan'.

FX212E5919000009 # config system management fortigate
FX212E5919000009 (fortigate) # set ingress-intf lan
FX212E5919000009 (fortigate) <M> # show
config system management fortigate
set ingress-intf lan
end
FX212E5919000009 (fortigate) <M> #

Capwap Interface

The capwap interface is created automatically. You can not edit or remove it.

FX212E5919000009 # config system interface
FX212E5919000009 (interface) # edit capwap1
FX212E5919000009 (capwap1) # show
edit capwap1
set type capwap
set rid 1
next
FX212E5919000009 (capwap1) # end
FX212E5919000009 #

For FEX-212E, you must also configure the following because it has dual modems.

FX212E5919000009 # config system interface
FX212E5919000009 (interface) # edit capwap2
FX212E5919000009 (capwap2) # show
edit capwap2
set type capwap
set rid 2
next
FX212E5919000009 (capwap2) #

Virtual Wire Pair

Configurations of the virtual wire pair are created automatically. They cannot be edited it or removed. These configurations specify the mapping of the LTE interfaces and the capwap interfaces. For example, 'set lte1-mapping capwap1' means the traffic from capwap1 interface will be sent out by the lte1 interface.

FX212E5919000009 # config system virtual-wire-pair
FX212E5919000009 (virtual-wire-pair) # show config system virtual-wire-pair set lte1-mapping capwap1 set lte2-mapping capwap2 end
FX212E5919000009 (virtual-wire-pair) #
